Description
Time for one more title before the Easter break and Matt talks to former West Ham, Fulham and Bristol City star LEROY ROSENIOR about his book IT'S ONLY BANTER. It takes as its starting point the idea that "banter" is something used to excuse ignorant views - and therefore anyone who takes offence just doesn't have a sense of humour. He details the racist slurs he faced from other players and his take on why there are so few ethnic minority managers in football. He also tells the story of he became known as the "ten minute manager". Don't forget to subscribe - bags more titles coming up after Easter. Follow us on @SportsBookPod
